ASUS Prime AP201 TG is a stylish 33-liter MicroATX case with tool-free side panels and a quasi-filter mesh, with support for 360 mm coolers, graphics cards up to 338 mm long, Tempered Glass Panel

Honestly an incredible mid-sized pc case, building was rather straightforward and the quality of the case is well beyond what most companies offer. The all-mesh panels of this case offer optimal airflow even with low rpm fans or few fans, with a very good cooler my pc idles at 20°C.Amazing case, would recommend to anyone wanting a smaller mid sized case.

Building in this case was surprisingly pleasant, like assembling IKEA furniture where all the parts actually match the instructions. Speaking of instructions, they were refreshingly clear - no interpretive dance required to figure out what goes where.Cable management is where this case really shines. My previous build looked like a digital pasta disaster, but the AP201 has enough routing options to make my cables look professionally done (or at least like I tried).Adding 5 Arctic P12 fans transformed this case into a wind tunnel simulator for my components, but without any noise. My CPU and GPU are running so cool now they're practically wearing tiny digital sweaters. Before, my PC sounded like it was preparing for takeoff; now it whispers sweet nothings while handling intense workloads.If you're on the fence about this case, just get it. Your components will thank you, your desk will look better, and you'll have one less thing to complain about on Reddit. That's a win-win-win in my book.

Pros:- Much better choice of design than the "PSU shroud at the bottom of case" that is almost every case nowadays. The bottom is free for fans, which help a lot with feeding the GPU with fresh air. I've observed so far a reduction of about 8 degrees, whilst keeping the same noise level.- The construction quality is top-notch, it's a heavy case with thick panels and no warping whatsoever.- Completely tool-less, it's a joy to work with.- Plenty of internal space to build with, supports standard ATX PSU's and as long as the PSU is in the top position, no problem fitting any GPU.- Very good looking in my opinion. Obviously it's a discreet case, so if you want to RGB all the things, it's not for you.My gripes with the case though (and the reason for taking out a star):- No support for 140mm fans at the bottom, and there's plenty of space for it.- Only one fan shipped with the case. Not that it matters to me, since I've got the fans already, but for the price, it should really come with at least 3. Or reduce the price.- The marketing tries to sell this case as a SFF, but it's not. It's just as big as any other mATX case. It's loses a little bit of height and gains a little bit of length compared to a NZXT H510 for example. It can be counted as a positive since there's no space constraint, but if you're looking at this thinking of something similar to a CoolerMaster NR200, look elsewhere.

This is a simple but elegant case.It arrives very well packed, with plenty of screws and so on to fix your build.The first problem I hit was with the power supply. I was using a Corsair PSU and the right-angle kettle connector inside the Asus case is the wrong way round. Once plugged in, it is impossible to close the sides of the case. I had to snip the plug off and fit my own straight kettle plug. This could be a serious problem for someone who doesn't feel confident doing that. The case almost lost one star because of that.The main intake fans should be attached to the base, because it is the only place there is a filter - a magnetic clip on that covers all the base.I was disappointed with the holes in the base. They all seemed to be in the wrong place. Having said that, I was fitting a large 3 1/2 drive, which I suppose not many people would do. But how difficult would it have been for Asus to just add a few more holes? The crazy thing is that Asus provide rubber mounts for mechanical drives, but not many places you can actually put the drive. Perhaps the holes and mounts are intended for 2 1/2 drives? I don't know, I didn't measure them.The positioning of the holes in the base meant that there was only one place the 3 1/2 drive could go and it didn't leave enough room for a 120mm fan. I finally realised that if I didn't use the rubber mounts provided by Asus to mount the drive, and just poked screws though the mesh, then I could fit the drive next to the fan. Never a good idea to fix the drives without rubber mounts, so I fished around and found a very old set of mounts that happened to fit. I was lucky, you might not be. My recommendation here, is if you are going to fit a 3 1/2 mechanical drive then source some sort of drive mount. The type I used just can't be bought any more, so don't expect it to be easy.It's a very nice case, but it was one of the more fiddly builds. With a bit of messing around, it can be made to look very nice indeed. I'm happy enough that I have bought another case for a second build.Recommended with reservations.

I didn't expect to like this as much as I do. To date I've had clear screens to see inside my PC clearly. This mesh has warmed on me surprisingly quickly. I was expecting noise, barely any (BeQuiet fans), I expected to miss seeing inside, but I can, the RBG is still very visible through the plethora of little holes. The most interesting thing, considering there are slightly less fans than I'm used to (none on the front can be fitted as intake), it's extremely cool! The fact that every single side of this case is full of holes, brings it close to an open air build. With maxing out the fans on top and bottom with one at the back, it does a great job of moving air around. I have a hearty set up for a micro build with a 14600K (much warmer than the comparable AMD brand for this gen) and a beefy 7900 XTX. I've monitored heat quite a bit early on, mid gaming session, and found that it's running slightly cooler than my older Corsair 750D, a full tower case with fans front, bottom, back and top. I'd buy another ASUS case in a flash based on my experience also building in this one.
